Stan gave me a very early break, hiring me to write the musical score for his film A Gnome Named Gnorm. He would insist I take weekends off from the gnormally grueling scoring schedule - any composer can tell you what a rarity that is. He was relentlessly positive, creative, humane, and full of self-deprecating humor. I learned much about how to work in this business from him and how to enjoy life to the fullest. I'd say there is now a black hole in his wake, except he would laugh at such a grandiose thought.
He is probably drawing doodles on St. Peter's robe right now. And I imagine God is glad to have him close by to advise him on some special effects. Watch for them - you'll know them when you see them. Farewell Stan.
